As to the accusation it came in the phrase abovementioned from the highest authority in the
country, and in the most authentic shape.

The first point to which I shall have to call solicit the
In relation to this accusation, the first point to which I would
beg the attention of the reader is the nature of the allegation it in respect

However slight the grounds in point of fact of it, the nature of their
allegation, when there is in any sincerity in it, will at

2. Nov. Speech

In the July November Speech in the character of as a ground
